Russian wheat. No. 2955: Sown on tract C May 23. This seed was old and 

 germinated very slowly. June 15, a small percentage was up 3 inches high. 

 July 28, that on fertilized ground was 20 to 30 inches high ; on unfertilized 

 12 to 18 inches high ; grain just forming in both. No seed matured. 



Of all the wheats tried this year Ladoga and Harold were the furthest 

 advanced when the first killing frost came. These two varieties matured 

 many heads sufficiently for making flour, and a part of the seed will grow. 

 But even of these varieties the greater iiortion was spoiled by fi'ost. Next 

 to these was Ebert, with many heads almost matured. Plumper, Stanley, Early 

 Riga, and Roumanian wei'c no.xt, with many heads nearly ripe. These were 

 all on tract A, the earliest seeded.
